  1. They've floated the idea of doing something with MASK before. Most notably, they released a Matt Trakker figure in GI Joe back in 2008, complete with MASK logo on the package. I think they keep poking to see if there's enough market interest, then not seeing it. I'm not saying they're right(personally, I didn't know about the Matt Trakker figure at all until a few years later).
  2. I sort of feel like MASK being "the bastard child of GI Joe and Transformers" makes it a harder sell at Hasbro, where they already HAVE GI Joe and Transformers.
  3. Didn't he kind of hate Shrek because of how the band became known as just "the Shrek song guys"?
  4. Cute, but my Fromsoft tastes skew a little harder. So... plush Nineball when?
  5. Same. Is some other design probably a better Optimus? Sure, even if your tastes aren't "Sunbow or die". I've been quite fond of a few Optimii over the years. Is this the best the original toy will ever be, and the thing I thought was around as a kid? Heck yeah!
  6. Glossy white is the perfect camoflage, because it reflects the surroundings!
  7. Char Customs hit different when he's driving around in a bare-primer ride.
  8. I've definitely heard good things about Macross before. The "featured series" and "characters" sections differ too, with the english site omitting the DYRL logo from the former, and Hikaru and Minmay from the latter. I don't know for sure what it means other than "Harmony Gold is back on the menu". (If it is their fault, at least it's within the actual scope of their license for once.)
  9. I'm actually very disappointed that Delta saw fit to peek at Megaroad. ... Now that people know where she is, a rescue mission can presumably be mounted?
  10. I feel like there's room for a story about the Megaroad, but it couldn't credibly be about Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay. It would have to be about new people, with the old characters having the occasional cameo.
  11. Well, yeah. Amuro read the instruction manual first, Hikaru didn't have one.
  12. And also G Gundam! War can be ended with a suitably-impressive martial arts tournament!
  13. Didn't know Lee could go Super Saiyan. Not surprised, though.
  14. This part of Mazinger Zero's "every mech anime is Mazinger Z" scheme?
  15. "SECRET EMBLEM" Holy crap, he even has a rubsign!
  16. Three if we count the time Gamlin stole Millia's VF-1 and then wrecked it immediately! ... Wait, you said "whole series". Oh well. I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN, GAMLIN.
  17. My recollection is he looked kinda skinny in the game, too. But his animation and voice gave him Megatron's presence. And the new toy manages to look less skiny than the old one, which has a pretty tiny waist. I'll probably pick this one up if I see it on a shelf, but that's a pretty big if. Better than the rest, though. There wasn't anything necessarily WRONG with the rest, their designs just aren't particularly interesting to me, and the gun-arm gimmick isn't well-implemented(though I appreciate the attempt).
  18. Doc Hell is the odd one out. The other 3 are clearly human, but Hell's skin color exposes him as a zentradi spy.
  19. One day I shall rule the toy brand! Also, is original toy Brawn just sporting a Cylon head?
  20. And also a certain blue-haired pilot with corrective lenses the finest combat instincts this side of Mars himself.
  21. At least to check before they restock it vs throw it in the trash.
